Weren't the Peter brothers from NJ?Playing Rutgers might be smart for recruiting. I would think there would be a lot of talent in that part of the country just because the population is so great.
I think we play UCLA in 3 or 4 years, so there ya go.I would like to see Nebraska get to playing PAC-10 schools again, not counting USC. We played Cal and UCLA several times in the 90s.
Yeah, but it seems like its been a while since we got talent from that part of the country. At least I can't think of any players from the last few years.Weren't the Peter brothers from NJ?Playing Rutgers might be smart for recruiting.

I agree, it has been a while. But, Schiano has evidently found something up there....Rutgers lost a lot from the last couple of years but he has found some success where it never was before. Must have some decent talent up there. :dunnoYeah, but it seems like its been a while since we got talent from that part of the country.

Loved this post ... and I would add that we should schedule these conferences on four (4) year cycles and then gradually move one out, example, SEC and move in another good conference like the ACC. In addition, select a top tier in one conference, a middle in another and a bottom dweller in the third. Yes, the teams will shift by the time games are played, but that is life, all teams will move up or down ... so will we.If not just for wins but also recruiting, I would want games w/ teams from hotbeds for talent.
1. Any Florida school
2. Any California school
3. Any Louisiana school
Next, I would try to setup a series with a BCS conference school if #1-3 was not....
1. SEC school
2. PAC-10 school
3. Big 10 school
etc.,etc.
Yes, sorry, by all means i did not mean to leave out the ACC or Big East or even non-BCS conferences. I mean look at what schools like BYU, Utah, Boise St. have accomplished recently. We should rotate conferences and try to get a Tier 1, 2 and 3 subjectively from the other conferences on our future schedules.Loved this post ... and I would add that we should schedule these conferences on four (4) year cycles and then gradually move one out, example, SEC and move in another good conference like the ACC.

I'm just don't like being 4-0 or 5-0 all while knowing that we will will finish in the middle of the Big 12 North. I'd rather lose now and build the program then pull a K-State.
